Error Message: Failed to enable Spotify Social

I seem to be unable to dismiss the error message shown below "Failed to enable Spotify Social". I'm a premium member and do not want to enable Facebook integration (you can see below that I have not done so), yet I continue to get this error message.

Re: Error Message: Failed to enable Spotify Social

I've noticed the same Error Message: Failed to enable Spotify Social. When I was getting this message I was logging in with my username & password that I made when I signed up with Spotify (not my Facebook login). So, I closed the app, reopened and logged in with my Facebook login; everything was back to normal, no error message. Then, I closed the app again, logged in with my original login (not Facebook), and it's still working great.

My theory is, there was a Spotify app update a while back, and I'm thinking I haven't logged in with my Facebook login since then, so it didn't know what to connect to (hence the error message). So, I think, to rectify the error, login in once with your Facebook login. Although, this doesn't resolve the error for those who don't want to connect their Facebook account with Spotify.

Hi everyone- Just want to clarify a few things here. If you have a Spotify username and didn't sign up through Facebook (like @A7sus44, @daddyoakhaven, @mhaeberli) there's no necesity to link with Facebook.

However, if you're receiving this 'Failed to enable' message, please try the steps below:

Spotify social and Facebook integration are not the same thing, so that error message is referring to something else. If you go back into the preferences screen, scroll all the way to the top, uncheck the item labeled "Share my activity on Spotify Social" and quit and re-open Spotify, that message should go away. I'm not sure what the cause is, but that may help you!

Re: Error Message: Failed to enable Spotify Social

I am having the same problem and am paying for Premium membership, also. I share playlists with a few of my friends, and because of this error I can't. I have spent way too much time this morning and last night trying to figure out a solution. I've reinstalled, logged out and back in, etc, and nothing changes. I am not happy.

@rjm5533 It's entirely possible that I could login using Facebook and the problem would go away, but that's exactly what I absolutemly do not want to do. Essentially, your solution is "reveal all your Facebook data to spotify and they will make the pain stop".
